Hello Ladies,

Picking your brains here. A Canadian friend of mine got given a gumdrop cake for her birthday. She loved it but had no idea how to make one.

Scouring the internet, gumdrop cake is like cherry cake but instead of cherries you use gumdrops - like jelly sweets. I have attempted 2 cakes using 2 different jelly sweets and they tasted delicious but both times the sweets have sunk to the bottom and melted.

Has anyone any idea how to stop things sinking to the bottom of cakes and also anyone know what the UK equivalent of gumdrops are?

Thanks for reading! x
